Pokemon Sunrise

[TheRedWatcher]

Pokemon Sunrise

The journey is over for many, but maybe not the adventure. You’re no longer a young trainer looking to be a Master trainer. You’ve already achieved that success in some way or another. You’re no longer struggling to be crowned Champion. You’ve achieved so much and the next generation looks up to you. To become the next Master trainer.

There’s nothing left for you to do, but test the next generation. To help them rise, grow, become stronger than you. Or is there?

One night, as you were sleeping peaceful in the region you reside, a storm brew all over the Pokeverse. The sky turned purple, with violent thunder and lighting that shook the very earth you stood on. When the lighting struck the ground it turned it black and began to form strange crystals.

Now all the Pokemon regions are turning black, and experiences more and more frequent violent storms. These storms make Pokemon violent, and the more wild Pokemon are near these shiny crystals they turn black. Wild Pokemon are becoming corrupted, and the balance of Pokeworld is threatened by this darkness that seems to have no origin.

People are starting to call it Shin'en Ken Shō [Abyssal Energy] and someone needs to put a stop to this madness. That person being you. Just because the journey has ended, doesn’t mean the adventure stops.

The RP

Five to six trainers with experience have been called to stop the Abyssal Energy from spreading further. The energy has already taken up a number of regions and turning Pokemon black. These experienced trainers job is to reclaim the regions with each other and their Pokemon at their side, by purifying each region.

By fighting Chroma, new Pokemon that appear out of purple crystals that are growing in the regions, these Chroma allow you to destroy the heart of abyssal energy in each region. The secondary goal is to figure out why this happening, and stop it for good.

You will fight like the anime, telling your Pokemon to dodge, and you the trainer may have to fight yourself at times fending off foes while your Pokemon battles with others.

Will you be able to stop the Abyssal Energy and survive all of Pokeverse? Play and find out.

Roles

Roles act as the slots of characters for this RP. But they will also give you additional bonuses based on the type of trainer you want to play.

Role 1 - Prodigy - Skill: Increase the strength of your bond with your Pokemon. And allows to fight with your support Pokemon at half the strength of your Partner Pokemon. @Neo is Delight

Role 2 - Support - Skill: Increases the duration and strength of all support effects, such as reflect, protect morning sun, removal of status effects. @TheRedWatcher

Role 3 - Combat - Skill: Increases the strength of physical attacks like low kick, mach punch, bite, and any skill that has an accuracy of 50% is increased to 80% @Pathfinder

Role 4 - Technician - Skill: All electric moves are at 100% accuracy, also has greater usage out of machinery than other roles

Role 5 - Legendary - Skill: Have a greater chance of bonding with more Pokemon at once than other trainers. Support Pokemon have the power of your Partner Pokemon. @AngelofOctober

Role 6 - Luck - Skill: You and your Pokemon have an unnaturally Lucky streak more so than any other role. Increases the effectiveness of special attacks. @Nerdy Reference

Pokemon Rules and How this Works

While this will seem limiting, you will have a team of 3 Pokemon.

1 Pokemon is known as your Partner. Your Partner is above average in power and strength of normal Pokemon because of your tight bond with this Partner Pokemon. Your Partner Pokemon gets an extra point in its stats because of this bond.

The 2 other Pokemon are your backup Pokemon. Also known as Support. They can be used in place of your Partner or in battle as a Supportive role while fighting alongside your Partner Pokemon.

You will not be restricted on Evolution, however, and I will allow you to chose Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon. But I will cut it off if too many people have Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon. Edit- No Ultra Beast either.

Your Roles do not take away your trainer class, they add to them. And you will be given a special ability based on your class as well.

I will be only allowing 1 Champion from any Region. Otherwise you can be anything you want and do whatever you want in this RP.

Pokemon Stats will be distributed as such, 1 Pokemon gets 100 points to put in their skills, another Pokemon 80, and another Pokemon 60. This will be up to play discretion. A Pokemon should have balanced abilities and will not be accepted if you place all 100 points into say Speed for example. I am not going to put a hard rule on how many points to spend in a given stat, but expect you to have common sense.

Your Trainers will be given 20 points to put into their Skills. Again I will not place a hard cap on how many points you can spend in your given stats, just don’t put all your stats into one category.

Trainer and Team Information

Name: [your name]

Age: [16+ - any younger you’re going to have to talk to me]

Gender: [Are you a boy or a girl?]

Role: [Look at the Roles]

Region: [What region do you come from]

Trainer Class: [write any class you want into this slot, and when you are approved I’ll give you a skill based on that class]

Personality: [please put some love and care into this. I’d like to see your character shine.]

Motto: [what’s their motto, what’s the thing that drives them]

Trainer Stats:
A trainer stats define them as a trainer. It defines how they train their Pokemon and how effective that training is with their Pokemon. A Trainer Stats are not their individual skills rather they are the skills that are combined best with their Pokemon.

Bond - A Trainer with a higher Bonding Stat with their Pokemon can communicate effectively to their Pokemon without a word. It also means that your Pokemon will be more in tune when you are in danger and may take damage for you.

Technique - Is how effectively you use abilities. As in utilizing the right weaknesses and the right type of moves against the right type of opponent. And not over using certain abilities to the point of exhaustion.

Style - Is how effectively you combine moves together for more effective damage. If you are a coordinator class then this is the skill that you would use to make combined moves more appealing.

Offense - Is how effective or how focused you are on using your Pokemon offensively in a manner that doesn’t waste a Pokemon’s energy. It’s also how effective you use physical attacks Pokemon know and learn.

Defense - Is the opposite of Offense. It’s how Effectively you protect your Pokemon from being wounded and hurt. How well you dodge and predict moves. It’s also how effective non damaging moves are when your Pokemon utilizes them.

Communication- This is how effective you are at reading other Pokemon and being able to communicate this appropriately to your Pokemon.

Special - While Offense is how effective you are using your Pokemon in a offensive matter, special deals with how effective you are using special abilities like thunderbolt and flamethrower and how effective these abilities will be when you utilize them.

Unique - Do Not Fill this Out if your trainer class is not a Psychic or Medium or anything otherwise specified by the GM. This skill encompasses the supernatural. The uncanny abilities that some unique trainers hold.

Skills: [what are some Non Trainer skills your Trainer possess, things like camping, cooking, dancing, singing, etc.]

Equipment: [this includes weaponry. Since I will be having some machinery in this game a little beyond what we have seen in at least the first few generations, more closely to modern Pokemon now. You can have interesting tech, but again common sense, do not go too outside and turn this into a science fiction show. You may also have Guns, they have been shown several times in the anime, swords, etc.]

Bio:

Alright ladies and gentleman we’re going to be doing something a little different with the Bios in this RP. Your RP will require, a Theme Song and you will be making yourself basically a Promotion. The idea is based off of when you made videos in Pokemon X and Y. You will add your favorite quote, say something about each of your Pokemon. And self Promote your best aspects, your favorite accomplishments, who you are, etc. Have fun with this.

[Neo Is Delight]

Name: Pastel Rivas. Whether Pastel is her real name or a self chosen one is a mystery, as anytime she, or her parents are asked, the subject is changed. For example; "Your name is seriously pastel?" "ooh what a cute beautifly!" "Yes, but what about your name?" "Oh look a butterfree too!"

Age: 14(shhh, you permitted it :p)

Gender: Female

Role: Prodigy

Region: Kalos

Trainer Class: Top Coordinator/Kalos Queen(performer)

Appearance:
Pastel is shorter than others her age by half a foot, but that doesn't make her any less noticeable in a crowd. With bright pink hair, blue eyes, and pale doll-like skin it would be rather hard not to spot her. Her fashion certainly doesn't help her become any less visible either, wearing three different barrettes in her hair at a time, a skull, musical note, and a bow, not to mention the actual bow she uses to hold her long hair into a side ponytail. Her bow is is purple, with white polka dots, sounding normal, but it also has a little extra, being the two jester like plastic points, topped with a plastic pink skull.
Moving down from there, you'll likely notice that she has a marking on her face, of a pink skull, which while sounding like it would be a bit creepy, actually makes her look even more adorable. The outfit she wears can vary, usually buying a brand new one every time she visits a place, but she always wears the same for performances.
That outfit matching her bow, starting with a basic description: A pastel jester styled dress. For those who require more textual visualization, it starts at the top with a white jester fashioned collar, moving to a purple latex-like material with an open V shape around the breasts, revealing some skin but not enough to be inappropriate. At the top of this opening, directly under the collar, is another bow much like the one in her hair, though it's a lighter shade of purple, and lacking the jester points, having only the pink skull to top it. Halfway down the dress, in the middle of the stomach are four pink jewels, further down the top part of the dress ends in a jester like fashion, having four points one in front, one in back, and one on each side.
The bottom of the dress almost gives the dress an appearance of being a separated outfit, appearing to be a short frilly skirt that starts out as a light shade of purple, two frills down getting a bit darker, with the fourth frill being a shade of pink, and the last frill becoming a lighter shade of pink. For those who might be curious what she's wearing under the dress, her panties are colored a light pastel pink, with the legendary pokemon Mew depicted on the front.
Continuing on to the less lewd articles of clothing, on her wrists are two short light purple wrist sleeves, both having four jester-like points. On her legs she wears knee-high stockings with a light pink coloring. Her shoes are ankle booties, of a light purple coloring matching in the jester design of other parts of her outfit with four jester points on each one, folded over to point towards the ground, the zippers being in the back so as not to seem out of place on the design.

Personality: If you were to classify her as any of the common '-dere' archetypes, she would fall into a mixture of Deredere, Yandere, and just a sprinkle of Himedere. On one end, she's abundantly full of energy, and is generally a very kind person who most would assume wouldn't hurt anyone. However, while that's true in a sense, she's very protective over pokemon, especially her own. She won't hesitate to put herself in danger to protect her pokemon partners, and because of this she tends to bond easily with them. Even when 'serious' she holds a feminine presence, and isn't known to be threatening in even the slightest bit, which is as much disadvantageous as it is advantageous.

Motto: "Keep up with me here, things are gonna get fun!"

Trainer Stats:

Bond - 3

Technique - 1

Style - 7

Offense - 3

Defense - 2

Communication- 2

Special - 2

Unique - Does being uniquely adorable count? No? Well then I suppose this area is to be left blank. :p

Skills:
Fan Combat - Pastel doesn't seem like she would be skilled in any form of combat at first glance, and most might assume that the only problem they would have would be her pokemon. That however would be a grave mistake, as she is skilled in the graceful combat style of war fans. She trains with Sharps using these, honing both her own skills as well as his.

Fans - While her previous skill was in relation to a weapon, this one is in relation to her success in contests and performances. Being both a top coordinator in multiple regions and Kalos queen has garnered a lot of attention, and with that comes a horrifying creature known to many celebrities as a 'fan'. While not as often an occurrence in the smaller towns as it is in the big cities, Pastel is often approached by complete strangers who have really high pitched screams. They are known to bring gifts, usually boxes of chocolates and flowers from the males who also request a date along with the gift, or treats for her pokemon partners. Many would debate whether this is a skill or an annoyance, but we're just gonna say it's a skill for fun. :p

Dance - Most performers and their pokemon partners perform dances, so it's not unusual for her to possess the skill to do such. Given her combat style it's a universal skill for her, being able to assist in both combat and performances.

Lyrical - This is actually a skill she doesn't make use of in her performances, or in front of people too often. Pastel has been known to sing or hum to herself when alone and bored, and those who have heard her tell her she has a wonderful voice.

Equipment:
Twin War Fans - Simple war fans, gifted to her by her first mentor. She makes use of them in her performances with her partners, as well as effectively using them in combat when necessary.
Standard equipment - Every good trainer knows there are certain things you never go without. For Pastel, she has around 5 standard potions, one max revive, pokefood, grooming supplies, and money to pay for lodging and food in towns.
Bedding - You're probably thinking that 'bedding' is maybe just a sleeping bag, and you would be wrong. Pastel will refuse to sleep on the ground if she has any say in the matter, and just in case she can't have a nice warm room in an inn, she has a basic, two person tent that doubles as a bed, it is pink. Beside that, she has two pillows, one pink, one purple, a comforter, and a thinner blanket. Beings as it is a two person tent, she would not be adverse to sharing, so long as whoever she was sharing with would not mind her snuggling up to them, otherwise Sylla and Riley would sleep with her(Sharps is too heavy, and not a comfortable cuddler).

Bio:

The background chosen for the promotional video of Pastel was very much reminiscent of a 'candy land', with bright colors and pink clouds that very much resembled cotton candy.
For a moment a dark ball passed onto the screen, followed by a yellow streak striking it causing it to burst, and then a what appeared to be a frosty wind swept over, freezing the event, causing a beautiful mist of crystallized dark energy. When it cleared, Pastel could be seen standing in the middle striking a pose only befitting of an idol.
Beside her stood her best performance partners. A Manaphy, an Alolan Ninetails, a shiny Pachirisu, a Sylveon, an Umbreon, an Alolan Raichu, a shiny Lopunny, and lastly a Bisharp.
"Hello my lovely fans! Many of you have asked me to do a promotional video showcasing my best performers, and here they are!" she finishes off waving her arm in indication towards her pokemon.
The camera then zooms in on the Manaphy. "This is Bubbles, Many of my rivals have said it's unfair to use such a rare pokemon, but really they're just jealous. Bubbles is very friendly, and loves to show off for you all."
The camera then moves onto the Ninetails. "This is Frost. She's not much of a people person, and to the breeder that tried to introduce another ninetails at our last performance, I'm so sorry, and I hope you aren't mad at her."
The camera shifts again, to the Pachirisu, or at least tries to as it is running around wildly and the camera can't move fast enough. At one point Pastel can be seen running past the camera trying to catch it. Thirty seconds later, the camera focuses onto Pastel, now holding a sleeping Pachirisu. "This is Risu, and she's very hyper as you saw. She doesn't like holding still, but she's great at helping me bake, if you ever stop by our home in Alola we'll make you and your partners some Pokepuffs!"
Next up are the Sylveon and Umbreon. "I'm sure you all know these two, being featured in many of my performances. Their names are Sylla and Shade, and as you might have guessed by their close proximity they're lovers. They make the cutest couple!"
The camera is then seen looking around, with worried whispering in the background. "It's fine, I'm sure she just went outside." Pastel could be heard telling the director, as the camera just focuses on her instead. "I'm sorry, Riley isn't much fond of attention, we're still getting her used to training, but you'll be seeing her in my performances in the near future!"
A crash can be heard, and the camera is zoomed back out, giving a larger perspective of the Lopunny and Bisharp fighting. "I told you two to be good! Lilah, Sharps, stop it!" A stray Metal Burst from Sharps hit's the camera, cutting the video short.

Sylla

Pokemon Name: Sylveon

Nickname: Sylla

Bond: Max

Gender: Female

Role: Partner

Appearance: "Corrupt Sylla's perfect beauty with items? Surely not." "Because she won't let me. ;.;" Sylla will not let anyone put any items on her, be it a barrette or a bow, though she is more than happy to demand a brushing twice a day to make sure her fur stays perfect.

Personality: Vanity is a word that fit's Synna's personality rather well. She hates the mud, refusing to battle on a muddy field, and even refusing to make physical contact with Grimer, Muk, and Trubbish. Beyond that, it is clear that she holds a certain amount of respect, and even an unbreakable bond of friendship with Pastel, having once gotten over herself long enough to fend off a wild Muk, though still avoiding mud in the process.

Stats:

Hp 15
Attk 25
Def 10
Sp.Atk 25
Sp.Def 10
Speed 15

How You Met: Pastel met Sylla when she was but a wee little Eevee. She wasn't her first pokemon, but she was the first pokemon that Pastel caught in the wild, if you can call it that. The Eevee was found outside near her home on a cold winter night, she could hear it's cries, and went to investigate. She brought it in to warm by the fire, and they became fast friends.

Sharps

Pokemon Name: Bisharp

Nickname: Sharps

Bond: Average

Gender: Male

Role: Support

Appearance: Sharps is not one of her performance pokemon, and so beyond the usual grooming one would perform for a steel pokemon, there is not much upkeep to this Bisharp's appearance.

Personality: Sharps is honorable, choosing his battles carefully. If his opponents stand no chance, he will not fight, instead leaving the battlefield. If he see's someone picking on the weak, he will defend them. While at first he was adverse to Pastel, he has became one of her most loyal partners, and will gladly fight either for her, or by her side.

Stats:

Hp 10
Attk 25

Sp.Def 5

How You Met: Sharps was her very first pokemon, a gift from her father. Though, as he was already evolved by then, he did not feel she was worthy of him. It wasn't until three months later that she proved herself worthy when he saw her place herself in the middle of a battle between a newbie trainer with a poliwag, and a team rocket grunt using an electabuzz. This was the first time she battled with Sharps, and while he's never been in a performance with her, he hasn't left her side since.

Riley

Pokemon Name: Raichu (alolan form)

Nickname: Riley

Bond: Low

Gender: Female

Role: Support

Appearance: Riley can be seen occasionally wearing a small pink ribbon fashioned into a bow on it's tail, with one on it's right ear as well. Grooming habits involve being brushed once a day.

Personality: Riley is a very curious and energetic pokemon that has been known to wander off to investigate things seemingly at random. In battle, Riley is focused, and seems almost like a completely different pokemon. Oddly, battling makes Riley hungry, and usually any food nearby after a battle isn't around long. Riley isn't fond of people.

Stats:

Hp 5
Attk 10
Def 5
Sp.Atk 10
Sp.Def 5
Speed 25

How You Met: Pastel met Riley while on her journey to becoming a top coordinator. Riley having originally belonged to one of her rivals. Her rival lost, Pastel claiming the prize, and he blamed it on Riley. He went to hit his pokemon partner, and Pastel having seen placed herself in the path. Sharps scared off the rival coordinator with a well placed suckerpunch, and Riley has since been traveling with Pastel.

[AngelofOctober]

I'd like to reserve the Legendary role. I am working on the character since you already hit me up in Discord.

[TheRedWatcher]

@Neo Is Delight@AngelofOctober

You guys got it.

[Nerdy Reference]

Interested. Though it sorta flies in the face of my concept, I'd like to call dibs on Lucky.

[TheRedWatcher]

@Nerdy Reference

You got it. Welcome to the team.

[Pathfinder]

@TheRedWatcher
I'm game, this looks like it can be pretty interesting. I'd like to reserve the combat role, if it isn't too much trouble.

[TheRedWatcher]

@Pathfinder

All yours

[AngelofOctober]

@TheRedWatcher

I suggest you bump the trainer stat points to 30.

[Neo Is Delight]

Suggesting a rework to the trainer stats:

20 base points to allocate
plus 5 every 5 years past 10(the age someone can become a trainer) to account for experience, because a 30 year old is going to be more experienced than my 14 year old character, and this would reflect it, without being too op and making younger characters obsolete. ^.^

@Neo Is Delight

I like this idea. We'll do it like that.

[Nerdy Reference]

To clarify the "Class" field, are we limited to trainer types encountered in the games, like "Cool Trainer" or "Hiker", or is it a more general description of your style of training?

Also, how does "Bond" in the Pokemon's stats work? Is it just another stat for point to get poured into, or is it dependent on the Trainer's Bond stat?

@Nerdy Reference

First, the Class field is indeed things you would encounter in the games, but it also includes trainer types from the anime/manga, such as performer from x/y.

Secondly, the bond in the pokemon sheet is to be filled out with 'Max/strong/average/weak' depending on the strength of the bond, which does reflect upon the bond stat of your trainer. Example; if you have a bond stat of two, your partner will be max, but the other two will be low, or at best one will be average.

[Nerdy Reference]

The most I've ever had to write for a CS. Not complaining, just mentioning a record.


Name: Roger Moore
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Role: Lucky
Trainer Class: Backpacker
Region: Johto

Appearance:


Personality: Roger's a professional traveller (some might say bum). His ID says "Trainer", but he hasn't even been in a Gym in years and only battles when wild pokemon bother him. For him, it's truly the journey that matters; the destination only exists so he can scrape together some cash so his team and him can eat. He possesses an industrious sort of laziness. If he's really gotta, he will, and he'll plow through it until it's done. That said, if the world isn't ending, it's hard to motivate him to get up in the morning. Perhaps because of his lackadaisical approach to life, Roger is a friendly guy who rarely takes offense, even if you're trying.

Motto: "I'm broke, hungry, and my shoes are worn through. Just another day in the life."

Trainer Stats:
Bond - 9
Technique - 4
Style - 0
Offense - 2
Defense - 6
Communication- 4
Special - 5
Unique - N/A

Skills:
Camping - When living on the road, you learn how to sleep outside. Roger's used to starting fires, catching food, and even doing basic cooking with minimal equipment.
Sewing - When you're broke, the best solution to rips in clothes and bags is to fix the hole. Roger's no tailor, but his patch jobs aren't especially noticable and they hold.
Navigation - Who needs road signs? Roger has an excellent sense of direction and knows how to use the stars to figure out where he's going.
Bargaining - It's said that any idiot can make money, but you gotta be clever to be broke. Roger rarely has much cash on hand, but he's got a knack for talking people down from their asking price.
Lucky - Roger and his Pokemon have an unnaturally Lucky streak.

Equipment: A multitool, his pocket watch, a small sewing kit, collapsible fishing rod, and a pair of knuckle dusters.

Bio:

On a couch, slouches Roger, his pokemon arrayed around him.
"What's up? Name's Roger. I like being where I haven't and sleeping late. I'll work for food, but feed my friends first, if it's all the same to you," he averts his eyes and scratches his head, "Quotes, right, uh, 'Why do today what you can put off 'till tomorrow?' That's always good, yeah?"
He lazily waves vaguely toward the pokemon gathered around him. "These are my friends. They put up with me, and I keep them company. It's a good system."
"He," he nods to the Noctowl perched on the back of the couch, "is Darwin, he and I have been together since we first left home. He's almost as bad as I am about getting up in the morning."
He motions toward the Sableye peeking over the couch, "That's Maria, the resident troublemaker. If it's shiny, she'll steal it and probably eat it if it's metal or something."
"Lastly, not that he minds," he nudges the sleeping Slowpoke on the floor with his foot, "is Earl. He doesn't do much, but, then again, neither do I. Mutual understanding and all that."
He lets out a sigh and gets a faraway look in his eyes, "We were never meant to be be the best, you know? But we never really wanted to. It's been a good ride, and I hope whatever's been going on doesn't ruin it."

The Team

Darwin, the loyal companion

Pokemon Name: Noctowl
Nickname: Darwin
Bond: Max

Role: Partner
Region: Johto

Appearance:


Personality: Prideful, loyal, protective

Speed 16

How You Met: When Roger was five, he wandered off into the woods and got thoroughly lost. As night fell, he started getting scared and likely would have broken down entirely if not for a Hoothoot that landed right in front of him. Once it saw that he was looking, it fluttered over to a tree and hooted excitedly. As he approached it, the Owl pokemon moved to a tree a little ways off and hooted again. Getting the idea, Roger followed the Hoothoot out of the woods and made his way back to his house. From then on, the two would often meet up in the woods and play hide-and-seek, and, when he was old enough to become a trainer, the two naturally set off together.

Maria, the snickering thief

Pokemon Name: Sableye
Nickname: Maria
Bond: Strong

Personality: Kleptomaniac, easily amused, shy

How You Met: When Roger visited Hoenn, one of the first places he wound up in was Dewford Town and the most interesting thing around there was Granite Cave. Naturally, he couldn't help checking it out. For hours after entering the cave, he couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. As he sat on a rock to rest his feet, he felt tug on his belt. A lone Sableye had taken a fancy to his pocket watch and would have made off with it if not for the chain securing it. Seeing that it was caught, the Sableye smiled widely and promptly vanished into the darkness. As Roger approached the mouth of the cave, the Sableye reappeared hanging from a stalagmite. It frowned and proffered a shiny rock, as if in apology. Darwin, now a Noctowl, hooted threateningly, but Roger waved him off, seeing no reason to start a fight where there wasn't one. He accepted the rock, and the Sableye took this as a sign of friendship. Since then, Maria has cheerfully followed Roger around, stealing whatever takes her fancy, eating what looks good, and stashing a share for Roger in his backpack.

Earl, the total load

Pokemon Name: Slowpoke
Nickname: Earl
Bond: average

Role: Support
Region: Kanto

Appearance:


Personality: Sleepy, cheerful, hungry

How You Met: When between towns, Roger usually fishes to feed himself and Darwin. Maria prefers to go digging for tasty rocks. One night, while fishing along a lake near Celadon City, there was a weak tug on his pole. At first, he mistook it for getting caught on a rock, but eventually it started to move away from him. Not about to let what felt like the biggest fish of his life to get away and leave him hungry, he pulled. After an hour of nearly breaking his rod from the weight it was expected to fight, suddenly the weight stopped fighting him. As Roger reeled it in, a pink head emerged from the water. A Slowpoke had been strolling along the lakebed, stumbled upon the bait on his hook, tried to make off with it, and apparently gotten bored with trying to escape with its prize. Darwin was disappointed with the lack of food, but Maria found the whole affair hilarious and let out a sort of stuttering hiss that Roger had since figured out was her form of laughter. For whatever reason, Earl has followed Roger around since that meeting. Whenever he's released from his ball, he's almost sure to be sleeping, and usually only wakes up after he would have been useful.

This is going to be an interesting team I gather.
